| How to install IUs without feature/p2 metadata into a p2 repository? [message #527862] |

Hello
I have some IU's (aka plugins) that are
a) not part of a feature
b) not provided from an update site or p2 repo
c) distributed as binary jars
I tried to use the p2 director application as explained on the wiki [1],
but it seems that it needs a source repository for all IUs. However,
introducing these IUs into a repository is exactly the thing I'd like to
achieve.
How can IU's that are present as jar files at some local location that
is not a site/repository be installed into a p2 repository?
In case that does not work, can I somehow gerenate site metadata
(site.xml, artifacts.jar, metadata.jar) for these plugins?
The background of this request is that I want to mirror all artifacts
of our internal Eclipse distribution and then install from there. Some
extensions [2][3] we use are only available as jar downloads.
